Latte Duo 200ml: Froth Milk Like a Pro

Quick answer

To froth milk like a pro with your Breville milk frother, use cold fresh milk, position the steam wand correctly, and pour your microfoam into a warm Latte Duo 200ml glass for the best temperature retention and latte art results.

Step-by-step frothing guide

1. Prepare your milk and glass: Fill your Breville milk frother pitcher with cold fresh whole milk (3.25% fat works best). Warm the Latte Duo 200ml glass with hot water or in the microwave for 10 seconds. Cold milk gives you a longer window to stretch without scalding.
2. Position the steam wand correctly: Submerge the steam wand tip just below the milk surface. Turn on the steam and lower the pitcher slightly to create a gentle hissing sound—this incorporates air for microfoam. Keep the tip near the side of the pitcher to create a whirlpool effect. If you hear a loud screech, the tip is too deep; if it sounds like a straw, it's too shallow.
3. Stretch and then submerge: Stretch the milk for 5-10 seconds until it rises by about 30%. Then fully submerge the tip to heat the milk to 60°C (140°F) without adding more air. Tap the pitcher on the counter and swirl to pop any large bubbles. Use a thermometer for consistency—milk scalds above 70°C (158°F) and won't froth again.
4. Pour into the Latte Duo glass: Immediately pour the microfoam into the warmed Latte Duo 200ml glass. Start with a steady stream from a height until the glass is half full, then lower the pitcher to create latte art patterns. Pour within 10 seconds of frothing to keep the foam stable.
